Agreement…
I think developing a team agreement was a good first project because it allowed everyone to have input into how they want to work as part of a team. Our team came up with some good strategies to work together and an action plan if we do struggle. We put a lot of emphasis on the various roles that exist within our group and tried to identify what other roles we are lacking in.
I think the team process has worked quite well so far with most people putting equal effort into the finished agreement. Hopefully as we get into more depth with the project plan everyone in the team will get more of a chance to contribute.
The only challenges or difficulties we may face are the same as those you face in any group or team situation – people have lives and they will always be more important than an assignment or project. I think it’s always important to maintain that perspective because if you don’t have that consideration of each other how will we be able to work together?
Another difficulty may be that people are hesitant to throw around ideas and talk things through for fear of offending or being confrontational. In my mind talking about an issue and putting your point of view across is just another way to come to an answer which isn’t necessarily your own, its not always about what you argue for being right, its just looking at it from another angle.
But I’m very pleased to say overall the team process so far for me has been rather hassle free.
